Recently I've uploaded the BIOS from my laptop. The process seemed to be ok, but then I noticed that if I do any change to the BIOS settings, the laptop will be temporarily unable to boot. The keyboard lights will turn on, but the screen will show nothing.
The problem can be solved after waiting enough time, like 90 minutes with the computer turned off. After that time it will be able to boot again, and the changes made to the BIOS will be saved.
Any idea what could be the problem? A bad BIOS update process or some hardware problem?

OTHER INFO:
- The Laptop Model is: ACER SF314-58G
- It came with Windows 10 1903 preinstalled, but it had Windows 11 22H2 at the moment of updating the BIOS with dual boot with Ubuntu 22.10 and Linux Mint 21.1 (triple boot).
- After doing the BIOS update, the computer only allowed me to boot to Windows 11, because it automatically changed the SATA mode from "AHCI" to "Optane without RAID". which is incompatible with Linux. (EDIT: Running Linux is already solved).
- I used the last BIOS version available, it was released 2 years ago so it seems to be the definitive one for this laptop model.
- Prior to updating the BIOS, the laptop BIOS did have a minor problem. If I try to change and save BIOS settings, the computer will restart and then will automatically boot to the BIOS again. After that, I just had to press ESC and the laptop will boot the OS again.
